What are taste dreams about?

I feel so stupid, I'm was in the mall trying to find the way to the parking lot, and I asked the security guard, and this boy that worked at the pharmacy went to say goodbye to the guard and offers to show me where the parking lot was, so we left together and we talked, he was sweet but a bit weird, and he didn't want to give me his phone number, but he showed me his multiple Instagram accounts.
I thought I had no standards but this guy, I think he is my idealistic guy

I don’t know exactly how to categorize this whether it is something related to sleep paralysis or something paranormal. All I know is it freaked me out to my core.

A few months back I was staying with my sister’s family after a breakup and I had a terrifying experience in the middle of the night.

I had gone to sleep in the guest bedroom in the basement they made up for me and I was awoken in complete darkness to the feeling of large hands holding my arms down and someone crawling on top of me. I started thrashing around and screaming only to “wake up” out of the nightmare.

I reached down and felt my sisters sweet lab mix curled up next to me and felt relief that she was near me and it was all a dream.

Then, out of nowhere she started getting all wiggly and hyper and crawled up toward my face and started licking me. The licking turned into aggressive scratching and she started to bite me. I went to push her off of me and then I woke up...again.

This time, my head was spinning because I already thought I was awake twice so I was questioning if I was really awake or if I was in sort of loop that I couldn’t get out of.

I was terrified to move or to turn on a light because I didn’t know what was real and what wasn’t.

I laid there still for another hour until the sun started to rise and to this day I’m still afraid to sleep in that basement alone.

I dreamed I was lost in some foreign country and the locals were trying to help me. I was starving and they made this rice dish for me.

One of the seasonings was something they called "blood powder". It was blood red and smelled like garlic and something sweet, cloves maybe. It didn't mix with the rice, or the oil, or the vegetables when they tried to stir it in, it just sat in the bottom of the bowl.

1 cup rice, boiled
2 Boiled chicken legs, the meat cut into slivers.
1 carrot, julienne cut and sauteed
Half an onion, cut into rings and sauteed
Half a celery stalk, cut small and sauteed
A few kidney beans? boiled
Black pepper
Red pepper flakes
Olive oil and salt
A lot of "Blood powder"

I ate some, thanked my hosts, gave them some money to pay for the meal, and woke up.

Did anyone experienced eating something they never seen in irl?
and the weird part is I felt the bite and taste of it. It's really and oddly nice tasty thing
What's more weirder is I spent only an hour sleeping just afternoon nap
But in the dream im there for 2 fucking days and I only remember the food part

Had this dream just today.

It was night time, and I was at a fast food place with this girl I know in real life named Lexi. We were sitting on a bench outside the building that was right in front of the mic and screen that’s used to order your food. And there were bushes around us. We were both just sitting together chatting, and we were the only ones there. I don’t remember all that we talked about, but I remember Lexi saying to me that she wish she could explain things like I can because she likes my voice. And she had said that second part about liking my voice twice trying to repeat what she said. She was smiling at me while she said it, and said it in a manner that was as if she had a crush on me. The weird thing is that she did also mention something about her boyfriend (even though irl she’s single)? I don’t remember too clearly though. Anyways, it was a pretty sweet dream.
